Akademy 2026 Call for Proposals is Now Open
Akademy 2026: Call for Participation
Akademy 2026 will be a hybrid event held simultaneously in Graz, Austria, and online. The Call for Participation is open! Send us your talk ideas and abstracts.
Why talk at #Akademy2026
Akademy attracts artists, designers, developers, translators, users, writers, companies, public institutions and many other KDE friends and contributors. We celebrate the achievements and help determine the direction for the next year. We all meet together to discuss and plan the future of the Community and the technology we build. You will meet people who are receptive to your ideas and can help you with their skills and experience. You will get an opportunity to present your application, share ideas and best practices, or gain new contributors. These sessions offer the opportunity to gain support and make your plans for your project become a reality.
How to get started
Do not worry about details or slides right now. Just think of an idea and submit some basic details about your talk. You can edit your abstract after the initial submission. All topics relevant to the KDE Community are welcome. Here are a few ideas to get you started on your proposal:
- How KDE can empower building robust communities in changing political climates
- Work towards KDE's goals: Streamlined Application Development Experience, We care about your Input, and KDE Needs You
- Giving people more digital freedom, sovereignty, and autonomy with KDE software
- Advice on how to participate for new users, intermediates and experts
